Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a qualified and experienced cosmetic doctor to discuss your goals, assess your skin, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for laser skin resurfacing.

Sun Protection: Avoid excessive sun exposure for at least a few weeks before the procedure. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF to protect your skin from UV rays.

Skincare Products: Discontinue the use of certain skincare products containing retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) for a specified period before the treatment, as advised by your provider.

Hydrate: Keep your skin well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to the procedure.

Avoid Tanning: Refrain from artificial tanning methods, including tanning beds and self-tanning products, as they can affect the laser treatment.

Smoking and Alcohol: If possible, minimize or avoid smoking and alcohol consumption in the weeks leading up to the procedure, as they can affect skin healing.

Follow Provider’s Instructions: Strictly adhere to the post-treatment care instructions provided by your dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon. This may include specific skincare products and routines.

Use Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF regularly, especially when going outdoors. Protecting your skin from the sun is crucial during the healing process.

Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure for several weeks after the procedure. If you must go outside, wear a wide-brimmed hat and seek shade.

Keep the Skin Moisturized: Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to keep the treated skin moisturized and aid in the healing process.

Do Not Pick or Peel: Resist the temptation to pick at or peel any scabs or crusts that may form. Let the skin heal naturally to minimize the risk of scarring.

Cool Compresses: If there is discomfort or swelling, you can apply cool compresses to the treated area as recommended by your provider.
